p. 45-46 24 Seconds with Luke Walton

:24 How often are you asked about your dad?

LW: Uh, pretty much every day.

:23 So one more day won't hurt, right? How old were you when you first beat your dad one-on-one?

LW: Well, his career ended (1) because of injuries, so he wasn't able to really ever play us. He would go out there and show us some things, and mess around, but we could never play real one-on-one games. But right now, I think I'd take him pretty easily.

:22 Right now, you and your dad against Kobe and Jellybean, who wins two-on-two?

LW: Oh, we would get them. Kobe's too small. I'd put him down in the block [laughs].

:21 What are your thought on your dad's broadcast career?

LW: He has an interesting sense of humor. I love watching the games that he's doing as long as it's not my team he's doing. He's capable of saying some things that can aggravate your teammates.

:20 Does he take it easy on you at all?

LW: Oh, no. I don't watch the games he does on me, because I don't want to hear what he has to say, but I've had friends tell me stuff he's said about me. He definitely doesn't take it easy.

:19 Do your brothers look as much like your dad as you do?

LW: I don't really think we look much like my dad, but everyone else does.

:18 Your dad never made People's "50 Hottest Bachelors,(2)" though.

LW: No, I don't think he did. I guess I can thank my mom for that one.

:17 How did it feel?

LW: At first I though it was John Black, our PR guy, playing one of those jokes that rookies get played on them. I never really thought of myself making that type of list.

:16 Reading articles and message boards about you online, we found a lot of descriptions like "heartthrob" and "hottie." What's it like being a teen icon?

LW: I don't know about all that. [laughs] I don't consider myself one, but it's weird when you go to functions and teenage girls are freaking out.

:15 How did it feel to hear Britney (3) say you were cute?

LW: Uh [embarrassed laugh]...I guess it was cool. I got a lot of phone calls about it. That was definitely my first individual taste of the media out here in L.A. It was all over the place.

:14 Did she send you an invitation to her wedding?

LW: No she didn't. She broke my heart.

:13 Sounds like you've moved on though. We hear you were hanging out with Lindsay Lohan, Shannon Elizabeth and Cameron Diaz this summer.

LW: We were all at a charity event (4). My good friend Richard Jefferson had done it the year before and they asked me if I wanted to, too. It was fun. We were down in Miami hanging out with some of the Hollywood stars and it was for a good cause.

:12 You once called yourself boring. That doesn't sound boring.

LW: I was talking about myself. I'm a boring individual, but some of the stuff I get to do is a lot of fun.

:11 What makes you boring?

LW: I don't know. I like to go to movies, play basketball and hang out at buddies' houses. Just a normal, boring guy.

:10 Would you rather listen to Britney or listen to the Grateful Dead in the car?

LW: I'd rather listen to the Grateful Dead, but I'd rather watch Britney on MTV.

:9 How early did your dad have you listening to the Dead?

LW: Earlier than I remember. We have pictures of all of us brothers (5) sitting backstage at concerts when we were like 2 or 3 years old.

:8 How many (6) Grateful Dead concerts have you been to?

LW: You mean after I started to choose to go? [laughs] I probably went to about seven or eight week-ends' worth, where they played three shows per city. But growing up, our parents would take us to a bunch of them.

:7 Have you gotten your dad hooked on any of your favorite bands?

LW: No, he's pretty stubborn. Teaching an old dog new tricks doesn't really work. He sticks to what he likes.

:6 What's your favorite Christmas carol?

LW: I'll have to go with "Gloria." That's my grandmother's name and she likes that one.

:5 How about Christmas movie?

LW: What's the one with the kid who gets his tongue stuck to the light pole? Christmas Story. That's a good one.

:4 What was the best Christmas present you ever received as a kid?

LW: We had an interesting childhood. Our Christmas presents used to be stuff that people gave my dad. You know, when you play in the NBA, people are always sending you stuff and my dad used to save all of that stuff (7) and then wrap it up for Christmas. We'd open boxes of Power Bars when we were like 9 years old.

:3 Uh, okay. Moving on, you've got a big game on Christmas this year, hosting Miami.

LW: Is that who we play? [laughs] That's probably going to be the most watched game on TV (8) of all time. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be in L.A., so the whole city's going to be jacked up.

:2 Are you looking forward to playing Shaq?

LW: I can't say it's going to be fun playing against Shaq. He killed us so many times in practice. That's never fun. But it's definitely going to be fun in the challenge, our team against his.

:1 This is, obviously, a very different Laker team than last year. What can fans expect?

LW: We have a lot of energy. We've got a lot of young guys, guys who are hungry to win. So you know, I think we are going to be a lot better than people think we will be.

(1) Luke Walton was 6 years old when his Hall-of-Fame father, Bill, retired in ‘86, shortly after winning his second NBA Championship and the Sixth-Man-of-the-Year Award with the Boston Celtics.

(2) The younger Walton joined the likes of Ben Affleck, Orlando Bloom and Colin Farrell on People’s hot list.

(3) During last season’s NBA Playoffs, Access Hollywood passed on word to Walton that Spears had admitted a crush on the then-Lakers rookie.

(4) Walton participated in *NSYNC’s charity weekend, Challenge for the Children VI in July.

(5) Luke has a Grateful Dead-inspired tattoo on his right arm: four skeletons, representing himself and his three brothers, dancing with basketballs.

(6) Bill, who has seen more than 600 shows, actually played drums with the Dead at a show in Egypt during his playing career and even brought band members to Clippers practices on occasion.

(7) Sounds worse than getting your tongue frozen to a pole.

(8) That’s Noon Pacific, 3 p.m. ET, on ABC. Go put it on your calendar before you forget.
